There are still a lot of bugs to be fixed in this rom, although everything core is working thankfully. Still issues with launcher stability, gallery(crashing..), video effects(fisheye, etc), reboots, stuck on an app, and battery life. It will go into deep sleep but I suppose I'm spoiled by the 2.2 roms. Looking forward to the next update... every update seems to take a big jump forward.

BTW.. getjar has a ton of free apps(beautiful widgets, splashtop, tapatalk on top of a ton of quality games.)

Camera quality V8

Have searched for a while but have not seen anyone talk about it. The Video recording is horrible right now.

Looks like it's doing 15 fps recording.

Quality is low even though it says 720. 480 looks the same.

Play back is jittery. Looks like it goes back a few frames every once in a while.

Also launcher is a bit laggy but that's something that i'm use to.

Rom looks great, other than video recording lol

Thanks

i went for the jk6 modem. i get 4 meters accuracy but screen shot max time is 40sec and it takes about that long to get 4meters so it just shows 6. it locks on every time with this modem and wifi/data seems to be better. i have always been on kb5 since the very first rom i ever flashed (Axura) the day it came out so this is my first experience on another. i dont know how battery or calling is yet
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
You may have figured this out by now. You need to have another launcher on your phone temporarily set as default while you do this otherwise you bootloop. Once you've proven the launcher to be OK, you then switch back.
[Vibrant Android Development] chaulklet:
Oh dude me too! My rom before this was Axura 2.2.7. Then I found this :D I seem to get better battery life on Auxura but it's manageable here.

Ugliest incoming call screen / in call screen

Coming from Miui, this rom looks amazing

BUT the incoming call screen is the ugliest thing i have ever seeen, is this serious?

the screen is half black and looks so primary, can anyone make a theme or do something to fix it??

also the in call screen is so ugly with the big blue guy and the big red button

PLZ i can design the images somebody pm me i want to kill these 2 ugly screen immediately

they are ruining ICS, it sad to release such a nice rom and get as far as 4.0.3 and everytime someone calls (the most important part of the phone) its ugly ...

i am not compalining blindly i am more than willing please if somebody can handle the framework or w/e i can do the designing

PM ME ANYONE
[Vibrant Android Development] djeddieone:
is the camera working on this rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] getontarget:
Read OP, everything is working. Camera and video recording included.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Well...not EVERYTHING, I don't think compass works for people. Definitely doesn't for me, and I know it did on stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] djeddieone:
missed the camera part thanks. has anyone flashed this over cm7?
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Bro seriously read the OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
I doubt it. CM7 is such an unpopular/unused ROM that literally NOBODY came here from it.

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

I just checked and compass works for me once I calibrated it.
[Vibrant Android Development] djeddieone:
yes i read the bootloader part i just wanted to know if anyone had flashed it over anything anyways relax!
[Vibrant Android Development] SlakWReX:

[Vibrant Android Development] SlakWReX:
You'll be fine flashing I've cm7. Just out it on the root of your SD card and flash like you would do with any other from in cwm

Does it work in Google map? Mine works in test apps but in in Google map.
[Vibrant Android Development] DonutYankee:
Uh, I came from CM7...lots of people used CM7.
[Vibrant Android Development] syl0n:
Is the multitasking screen and app tray lagging for you guys? Mostly the multitasking screen takes a long time to come up sometimes. it seems ICS is a lot slower than GB or maybe it isn't optimised yet. Is it as slow as this rom on the Nexus S with official build? I hope not :)

CM7 is crazy fast compared to this ROM but hopefully this gets faster otherwise I may hold out for CM9 unofficial ports to Vibrant.

Also some apps like Google maps is very slow and unresponsive. I guess this is due to not having proper hardware optimisations?
[Vibrant Android Development] SuperJMN:

Ojala que tienes buena suerta. Y si j no te sirve, intente usando otra hasta que encuentras un modem que te sirve bien.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dattack:
You think it might be the reboot? I get zilch but everytime have my gps turned on and rebooted and it becomes perfect again. Seems like you might lose gps if you turn off gps and turn it back on.
[Vibrant Android Development] samdroid959:
Well I just did the hardware fix, it was fairly easy but taking off the plastic cover after unscrewing was tedious, now I'm gonna set the faster fix to north america, and if that doesnt work then to china, and if that doesnt work going to flash jk6 and if that doesnt work this vibrant is flying across my living room at mach speeds...lol
[Vibrant Android Development] muncknr:
you guys got trolled. he was obviously kidding about no one using cm7..
[Vibrant Android Development] Hamiltonzth:
In my experience the mute/unmute bug is not rare, it happens on virtually every call. Any progress on fixing that?

Also, incoming calls don't display properly from time to time. It instead displays the "in-call" screen of the person I just spoke with, although, I can still answer or ignore calls if I swipe my finger.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
I'm still on v7 and flashed ka7, I'm getting 6 meter accuracy now and locks within 2 minutes on a cold start and 5 - 10 seconds on a hot start. I never had a lock on cm7 and rarely ever worked on the stock rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] hotboy251:
+1 on that also people say i sound like im in a hole sometimes im using the "RECOMMENDED" KB5 modem
[Vibrant Android Development] muncknr:
Ive had to mute / unmute for incoming calls since v1. also, has anyone else tried to used an automated service on this rom? when i type in an extension number during a call, say "5867" it will register "588677" or something like that. slightly frustrating. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
also, since changing to ka7, my CPU usage dropped to nil and it deep sleeps now.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
I dont know if this has been answered, but can we flash the gb bootloaders if were already on the latest version of this ics rom?

GPS issue on V8 - one possible solution

For all those having GPS issues

Goto GPS settings turn off all modes of GPS settings and turn them back again, and reboot. Then try GPS Test, this worked for me everytime.

When the GPS gets a lock, its very very accurate.
[Vibrant Android Development] Hamiltonzth:
KB5 really seems to be an inefficient modem for this rom. I have three vibrants and it runs like **** on each. KA7 as you mentioned dasuns is far more stable.

I'd like to see the ICS Modems thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399722) added to the original post. I think more people would find better overall performance with KA7 in lou of KB5.

My fiancee ran into this issue attempting to type a credit card number in. Took her 15 minutes to get it right. I'd like to say this and the mute/unmute bug are related as the other end would be getting feedback which would distort the tones it's receiving.
[Vibrant Android Development] SlakWReX:
Yea I hate this mute the phone it seems to work for me when its muted.
[Vibrant Android Development] SlakWReX:
Would changing modems fix this bug.
[Vibrant Android Development] Hamiltonzth:
Changing modems doesn't have an affect on it.

It's related to how certain things are implemented within the ROM itself.
[Vibrant Android Development] subzerold:
everyday since i've installed v8 ive had random reboots that lead to bootlooping which leads to me having to reinstall... omg i guess ics just is not for my phone
[Vibrant Android Development] Hamiltonzth:
Make sure you're on a GB bootloader and wipe everything.
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
Everyday huh...lol

So when you flash v8 over v7, does it do a full wipe?
[Vibrant Android Development] jdineshk:

been running this rom for almost 12 hrs and se eno issues. flashing was a breeze.
[Vibrant Android Development] Oxirane:
Are GB bootloaders necessary for anything but ridding myself of the rainbows? I can still get into and see recovery... thinking if they don't do anything else I'll just leave it be.
[Vibrant Android Development] subzerold:

Yes it says It does and I manually do them all myself just in case. Have also Odined back to jfd and tried starting fresh.

Testing Modems Verdict

OK, folks,

After spending one hour testing KB5 and KA7 modems, here are my results:

On KB5:

-The data connection starts up quickly, but the connection drop frequently.

-In regard to the GPS, it puts me a block away from where I live. It treated like I'm a homeless person. lolz

On KA7:

-The data connection starts up slow (very retarded). However, once it established the connection, it will not let go (just likes a lady goes after you for a child support lolz).

-As soon as the GPS is locked, you wouldn't want to say that you never been there. It spotted me in my own home bathroom. lolz

I have personally tested both.

I know they work.

If your phone explodes, or dies or you have to go through the horrible "2 minutes" of odining then reflashing, It's your fault as the end user.

Kswapd0 has become a cpu hog on v7. What's the work around on this? I am really enjoying this rom and it feels so close to a DD if it wasn't for the persistent lag, fcs and sigh wifi calling. Thanks for the excellent work
[Vibrant Android Development] hippotek:
So, after having my phone unplugged for the night (8hrs) I now have to second your comment:

No deep sleep. down to 44% from 100%... Android System process eating up most of the power...

Will try a clean install with NO restores later today...
[Vibrant Android Development] airhop7:
Thanks I flashed the ics revert but yet I'm still getting force closed is it cause I have too much app? It lags when I scroll and then it force closed
[Vibrant Android Development] cyberseer:
since v6.5 i have had no problems with lag or no deep sleep, until today. I played with the GPS for the first time, it won't lock. so installed GPS LB test, and Fast Fix from earlier roms. Still can't get it to work, but now it won't go into deep sleep either, tested over a period of 12 hours. Finally, did a clean install again, no mess with GPS stuff, and it went right back into deep sleep. Can anyone verify?
[Vibrant Android Development] o0stryxs0o:
Earlier in this thread we did a poll and more people voted for Kb5. KB5 works for more people across the country (USA) than KA7. There use to be a map floating around the web on vibrant modems that someone had made to show where what modems worked the best for people. Although KA7 is nice it kills my battery. As far as mute/unmute goes as has been the case since CM. This problem is different for different people its never been an issue for me but plauges others. Its literally a problem with certain vibrants. As a poster said earlier you have to either find a app to get around it or wait the 7-10 seconds for it to disappear. Either way it won't be fixed any time soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
anytime you flash a system app you should always clear cache and dalvik the fix permissions if you skipped that part, back to CWR with you clear caches first reflash launcher, then fix permissions.

you can also try pushing the launcher into system/apps and change permissions to rwx rx rx reboot clear cache/dalvik fix permissions.

lots of people are having wonderful experiences with the gps in V8, i personally haven't tried as i have mg GN and tablet (bigger screens) that i can use for gps.

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

oh theres a chance it can be fixed soon, it's just a matter of getting the right code in the rom. CM7 had it fixed months ago, same as miui (runs on CM7 framework on Vibrant) so it's probably more of a "priority" issue at this point (IMO) seeing as it's a simple double tap work around and theres far bigger glitches to focus time and energy on. But heres to hoping it gets fixed sooner than later!
[Vibrant Android Development] o0stryxs0o:
It was my understand that all of the fixes in CM/Miui had been simple work a rounds added to the rom or apps that people had made like for CM. Eh, well if it gets fixed then its one less thing that I get to see posted every other post in this thread.

Some Observations

-No Issues flashing this rom.

-pretty smooth from the start.

-Quadrant is 1500 (I know it's a beta rom, I'm fine with it)

-A little lag in maps and the browser (again no biggie)

-GPS isn't working (Do the GPS apps add-on need to be flashed to correct it? FAQ's don't say "Flash Me"

-Battery lasted longer than expected, 12 hours on the first charge cycle.

-I noticed a few google apps are missing (maps and navigation for example) were these left out on purpose, or something I missed on my part?

Overall I'm liking it:D!

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

the Gapps that are missing are ones that are less necessary for daily use. they can be downloaded off market at the users discretion :)

Quadrant is garbage on this rom. i was bored and kept running it over and over back to back and eventually reached 4k on a full test. glitchy! But now i know how people are claiming 3k+ scores. just keep running it over and over lol also i noticed 2 things in settings forcing 2d hardware accel increases quadrant, but kills frames in some games, and a live wallpaper can change your initial benchmark by 200 points easy.

Battery is hit or miss. luckily ICS allows the user to freeze applications similar to how TI does with the paid version. just make sure you watch your activities and calibrate your battery sooner than later for better os management.

search gps on this thread a few people have posted "how to's" on getting it up and running, i personally don't use gps with this device since the screen is too small.

They are not needed, but recommended.

I made a package with the Bootloader and Odin 1.82

Odin 1.82 easily allows you to flash the Bootloaders only.

One of the nice features of these bootloader:

Convenient Key Maps for entering Recovery and Download Modes.

For Recovery - Lower Volume Key + Power Button

For Download - Upper Volume Key + Power Button

Soooo, here is what I did to alleviate the issue:

1. I deleted all leftovers from the Internal SD any apps and the system had installed whilst running Froyo. I literrally deleted everything but my:

a) Music (6GB)

b) Photos

c) CWM backup Folder

d) SMS Backup Folder

e) efs backup

2. I made a few minor changes to build.prop

I wanted to try the 7A modem but now my system says Baseband Version Unknown and I can not get any Network connection at all. I have tried to install v8 but still nothing. Wiping EVERYTHING and seeing what happens. I am still in GB bootloader so that is good. Phone cannot even search for a network then after about 15 min it will automatically shut down.

edit: Just wiped everything and all up and running. Lost all network connection when trying 7A modem, anyone else?
[Vibrant Android Development] dseldown:
Passion V8 running like Clockwork!!

Installed this on 12-21, and so far have used it as a daily driver, literally!!

I run a largecar for a living, and I need my phone as bad as anyone for my Business!

So far no dropped calls, Recving call's great! I use the GPS for navigation, 0 defects with 14ft accuracy!!

When my travel agent sends me my LineHaul sheets for loads, It comes thru with 0 defects, opens up in PDF just fine.

E-mail's working awesome, and texting is working great too! Also the camera and video recorder is working fine, as well as the FFC I installed!

I am required to use Bluetooth for hands free compliance, and that's working great as well, Just upgraded to "theexcels" newest battery mod, and its working with this Framework great now. Its finally smoothed out at 1.3Ghz and moving fast the way I like it.

The only thing that bugs me, is I cant get into CWM recovery, unless I power down, and rocker it in. I use ROM Toolbox Pro, and have Rom Manager Pro as well, and neither of these two will boot it into recovery. ROM manager says recovery is flashed at 2.5.1.2 but when in the recovery menu its saying the recovery version is: 5.5.0.2 ???? Blue screen

Just not understanding the two different versions, and would explain why it doesn't go to recovery mode by using Rom Manager etc!

I also wondering if this ROM is supposed to be using any versions of VOODOO??

I have the voodoo controller app installed, but I never see any enable or disable options in the Recovery menu!! And I know that unless you have Voodoo enabled, the app controller is useless!!

But other than those issues, this ROM's performing extremely well, only one FC to date. Overall, this ROM is well on its way to being in the hall of Fame for development. And I appreciate everybody who was involved or contributed to this project, and of course Neo for his dedication to cooking this together.

IDK how you developers find the time , when I never seem to have enough of my own to just manage my own life, but nun the less, you guys are true givers!!

And I wish the people who whine, would realize for a moment what goes into producing a ROM, that they take for granted so easily.
